Under this agreement, DHS and DG CONNECT will issue a 2023 DHS report on how the federal government will streamline and harmonize cyber incident reporting and cybersecurity incident reporting measures contained in the European Union's NIS 2 Directive. We conducted a comparative evaluation of the recommendations outlined in the book. DHS announced Wednesday.

Each area includes a high-level comparison of cybersecurity incident reporting frameworks and general conclusions about their similarities and differences.
